Buy or Lease a New 2021 Ford Explorer in Fall River, MA

Embrace Life's Unexpected Twists in Fall River in the New Ford Explorer SUV

People say that the large SUV has been losing a bit of its popularity on the East Coast as smaller crossovers become more and more tempting--but if that's true, why are active drivers in Fall River, Somerset, Westport MA, and Newport and Tiverton RI flocking to the newest Ford Explorer SUV at First Ford?

A lot of it comes down to convenience and accessibility: the new SUV offers comfortable and easy seating for seven passengers, and a surprising 21 cubic feet of cargo area behind the rear seats. That means you can carry a full car of kids, carpoolers, or friends, and still have plenty of space in the rear hatch for basic gear and bags. Fold seats flat for up to 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space inside. If you still need to be able to move more, the new Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,000 pounds thanks to powerful new engine options; hook up a trailer, load the rest of your equipment, and get rolling!

And, with five fantastic model options, the Explorer is more tempting than ever. The Explorer and Explorer XLT come standard with a powerful 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V-6 engine, and offer available Intelligent 4-Wheel Drive with Terrain Management System. Even with tons of standard features like an integrated rearview camera and Ford's SYNC infotainment and voice command system, these base models still offer competitive and affordable pricing. Upgrade to models like the Explorer Limited, Sport, and Platinum for either a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, as well as advanced luxury features like SYNC 3 infotainment, premium audio, moon roof, leather seating, and much more.

Performance and Capability: Honda Pilot vs Ford Explorer

• Pilot gives you but one engine option; Explorer offers choice of three industry-leading engine options, including a turbo-four, a V6, and a turbo-six drivetrain--horsepower is equal or greater in all engines than the Pilot
• The Ford Explorer offers available 4WD; the Honda Pilot offers available AWD
• Road performance in the Pilot is plush and smooth--road performance in the Explorer is more sporty, more responsive, and a little more robust in its engine notes. It all comes down to personal preference, but we prefer an SUV that doesn't ride like a minivan

Features and Options: Honda Pilot vs Ford Explorer

• A few years ago, Honda nixed the option of a CD player--really! If you have treasured mixtapes from days gone by, only the Explorer has the functionality to blast those funky tunes
• Even at a mid-level trim, the Explorer gives you fun and convenient features that the Pilot doesn't--like standard heated mirrors, available navigation, and standard rear parking aids
• Like to travel, or just to always be prepared? The Explorer offers more standard features, like a luggage rack and a cargo shade, than the Pilot
